timekeeping: Provide infrastructure for converting to/from a base clock

Hardware time stamps like provided by PTP clock implementations are based
on a clock which feeds both the PCIe device and the system clock. For
further processing the underlying hardwarre clock timestamp must be
converted to the system clock.

Right now this requires drivers to invoke an architecture specific
conversion function, e.g. to convert the ART (Always Running Timer)
timestamp to a TSC timestamp.

As the system clock is aware of the underlying base clock, this can be
moved to the core code by providing a base clock property for the system
clock which contains the conversion factors and assigning a clocksource ID
to the base clock.

Add the required data structures and the conversion infrastructure in the
core code to prepare for converting X86 and the related PTP drivers over.
